"RuPaul's Drag Race" is a reality show in which a group of talented drag queens compete in challenges to impress host RuPaul, the world's most famous drag queen, to win a cash prize along with a crown and the title of America's Next Drag Superstar. Each episode consists of a main challenge, usually some form of performance or fashion design -- sometimes both. The queens then participate in a themed runway show, where one is declared the winner of that week, while two others are announced to be up for elimination. The bottom two must then compete to stay on the show with a lip-sync for their lives.

Tanner Stransky Entertainment Weekly And as fun as the hour was... the "bringing a queen back" thing really felt like just a gimmick to extend the season by an episode and pimp out Carmen Carrera more. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Claire Zulkey AV Club It's the little moments that make this show great to me, like when Venus revealed that she's had plastic surgery to look more like Madonna. Rated: A- Nov 17, 2018 Full Review Michael Slezak TV Line It's not every day you see a drag lady toss her long auburn wig to the floor and perform a series of showstopping somersaults down the center of the runway. Git it, mama! Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

TheRetroRanger 1 Amazing winner with great runway looks, but the season itself was just fine. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 3 of Drag Race is perhaps the competition at its most challenging. While there's lots of drama and conflict, the narrative arc of the season stalls hard in the back half, making the crowning feel less like "yes, we have a winner!" and more like "finally, we have a winner." While there's no bad season of Drag Race, this one isn't the best. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This, to me, is the show at its peak. Great balance between comedy, acting and sewing challenges, great cast with diverse personalities and drag aesthetics, entertaining drama that kinda makes you lost on whose side are you on, as it's nearly impossible to hate either Raja and Manila or Shangela and Yarlexis. Had this season been more recent, in HD and with a bigget budget, it would've been a bigger hit than season 6 or AllStars 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
